papal bull

There was a Papal bull, for instance, said to forbid dissection.

The particular occasion of it, however, seems to have been the opposition which he offered to the reception of a papal bull.

Germany replied to the papal bull by surrounding Luther with acclamation.

There the papal bull was read to them, and they were presented with a stringent edict enjoining the execution of it.

The news, however, had in some form reached Rome in season to be the subject of a papal bull on May 3d.
